Have Kansas City Chiefs packed it in for 2025 season?

Have Kansas City Chiefs packed it in for 2025 season?

The Week 18 matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs will be one of the most uneventful games in the rivalry’s history. Both the Raiders and Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs weeks ago, and only the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft is on the line. But even that could be decided before kickoff. Regardless, there’s plenty of bitter hatred between the two clubs to add motivation for both sides.

To preview the contest for Raider Nation, Silver and Black Pride reached out to our frenemies at Arrowhead Pride, and Maurice Elston was...

Las Vegas Raiders have New Year’s wish for franchise

Las Vegas Raiders have New Year’s wish for franchise

Well, we’ve made it to 2026, and, of course, our Tuesday Community Question this week was asking readers what their Raiders’ New Year’s resolution?

In no surprise, many fans want to see Pete Carroll fired and the team hit a home run with the next staff. I have a strong feeling we will see Carroll dismissed very soon. Then, it’s onto nailing the next hire, which, of course, hasn’t been easy around these parts. But it’s a new year with new hope.

Las Vegas Raiders can’t let Travis Kelce make more memories

The Las Vegas Raiders are hosting the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in the season finale for both teams. Kickoff is set for 1:25 p.m. PT. Here are keys to the game:

Elephant in the room:

Yes, for the second straight week, we must acknowledge that many Las Vegas Raiders fans want them to lose this game as they have a chance to get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft. We get it. But this is a keys-to-victory post, so, carry on.

Stop the Raider killer:

This very well may be the final game of the the...

Albert Breer reports Raiders could be higher on Dante Moore

Albert Breer reports Raiders could be higher on Dante Moore

The Las Vegas Raiders are in line to have the number one pick in the draft. If they lose to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday the Raiders will have a chance to change their franchise with their first time picking one since 2007.

Of course, Raider Nation does not want a repeat of the last time they selected a quarterback in the first round. JaMarcus Russell was a disaster and set the franchise back until the franchise drafted Derek Carr. However, this year’s draft class is headlined by two potential franchise QBs in Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore.

Caleb Rogers earning spot in 2026

Caleb Rogers earning spot in 2026

The Las Vegas Raiders, in general, will likely look a lot different going into 2026 then they currently stack up, one are of such is the offensive line where the Raiders are likely to make heavy attempts to overhaul what is currently the NFL’s 29th ranked unit. 2025 third round selection Caleb Rogers is looking like a potential piece to the offensive line going forward into 2026 and the rookie is earning his opportunity to start next year.

The former Texas Tech standout was selected 98th overall after a strong college career that saw him play in well over 4000...

Week 18 NFL Picks: Las Vegas Raiders-Kansas City Chiefs predictions, Silver and Black Pride’s Pick’em competition

The Week 18 matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs feels more like a formality than a competitive game. Both teams have already been eliminated from the playoffs and are expected to start backup quarterbacks, with Chris Oladokun making his third appearance for the Chiefs this season and Kenny Pickett playing in his sixth game for the Raiders. However, there’s a lot on the line in our Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition as the last week of the regular season is the final opportunity to make a big push toward the top of the standings....

We can finally breathe a big sigh of relief knowing that we only have to watch this Raiders team play one more game, and then it’s onto the offseason. So, for this week’s mailbag, we’ll continue focusing on the 2026 NFL draft and free agency. And I’m sure you all have some questions stored up since we didn’t do a mailbag with the holiday last week.

Chiefs losing on purpose to cost Las Vegas Raiders the No. 1 pick is ludicrous

Andy Reid trolling the Silver & Black is nothing new.

The Kansas City Chiefs head coach and primary offensive play caller makes no bones about making a mockery of the Las Vegas Raiders defense during his tenure. Remember the “Ring Around the Rosie” play Reid deployed just two seasons ago?

Kansas City had a spinning huddle on that particular play, then broke out of it to run a touchdown-scoring trick play. A holding call wiped out the score, however, on the very next play, Reid dialed up a traditional end around that resulted in a touchdown anyway.

Would Reid’s trolling...

Las Vegas Raiders lose quarterback from program

Las Vegas Raiders lose quarterback from program

Cam Miller’s career with the Las Vegas Raiders is over before it truly began.

Thursday, three days before the season finale, the rookie quarterback has left the Raiders’ practice squad and has signed with the Miami Dolphins’ 53-man man roster. That means, Miller, a sixth-round draft pick from North Dakota State, is now property of the Dolphins for the rest of his rookie contract unless he is waived in the future. But, Miller will now head to the Dolphins and be part of their 2026 offseason.

Either the Raiders didn’t think Miller was ready to be on the 53-man roster...

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2023 class fared in a 34-10 home loss to the New York Giants on Sunday and looking ahead to Week 18’s season finale at home game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Tyree Wilson:

Wilson played 65 percent of the snap with Maxx Crosby out for the season. Still, Wilson didn’t provide much of a pass-rush at all against New York. He should play a lot against Kansas City as another disappointing season comes to a close for the No. 7 overall draft pick.

Michael Mayer:

The second-round pick played 93...
